Can anyone help with the following issue please?
(Umbraco version 4.0.2.1)
After publishing the new site and its sub pages, the links to document are blank and the Alternative links are just "N/A" for every page pusblished including root. When I opened www.123.com in my browser, it would just show the old content from the old site instead of the new content from the new site.
(www.123.com is a dummy url)
The Content tree is as follows:
Content
-- New site (published and assigned to www.123.com)
-- New sub folder #1
-- New sub pages
-- New sub folder #2
-- New sub pages
-- Old site (unpublished and unassigned from www.123.com)
-- Old sub pages
Is "old site" visually listed before "new site" in the content pane? You may want to reorder if so.
You could also try rebuilding the Umbraco cache. Visit:

I am on Oracle WebCenter Sites 11gR1.
I have an asset page that is on the tree of a site.
The page requirements and presentation have changed, so a new definition is needed to hold the references to other assets (the original definition can not be changed since is used in other pages). The page to change its definition is linked/referenced from other assets/URLs, so it is not possible to replace it with a new page.
Is it possible to change the page definition? How can this be achieved?
When i edit the page, the definition field is only a link to the definition, but not an editable field.
Thank you
You cannot change the page definition of an existing page instance.
You can change the existing page definition, that is being used in your page instances.
Go to Admin Perspective > Search > Page Definition > Search by your Page Definition > Click on Edit (pencil) and make your changes (eg: add or remove attributes).
If you want to add new page attributes, you should create the page attributes before edit the page definition.
I'm new to alchemy-cms.
I created a fresh install from the guides. I did not add any concept or structure.
Going to localhost:3000 I have to add the first user and after that I have a clean site.
When trying to add a new page, I have to select a type (page-layout?) and type in a name.
The Type combobox remains empty, and therefore the website don't allow me to add a page. What am I doing wrong? I think I'm missing something very obvious here.
I have looked allready in the source code, and running the following:
rails console
Alchemy::PageLayout.all
and this results in:
=> [{"name"=>"index", "unique"=>true, "elements"=>["article"], "autogenerate"=>["article"]}]
So I would guess the combobox should be filled with this item.
The index page layout is marked as unique, so it can only be added once per language. And as the so called language root page (the first most page in your page tree) already has this page layout, no new page can be created using this page layout.
In order to fix your problem you need to add another page layout to your page_layouts.yml file. It is good practice to add an standard page layout that is not unique (default) and can therefore be added multiple times per language.
One of our Umbraco sites is getting a bit messy and I was wondering if there was a way of grouping pages in folders without affecting the URL. So for example if under the homepage I have some top level sections, some footer links and various other system pages. I'd like to group the footer pages in a footer folder, the system pages in a system folder but I don't want all the URLs to become /footer/page1, system/contact etc.
Is there a nice way of doing this, maybe something with umbracoUrlName?
There are two answers, first you could turn on the 'hide root folder' option in web.config - then you can have as many folders in the root as you like - without them forming part of the url.
umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath Causes the top level content items to
be excluded from any url paths. For example, this is pre-set to True,
so:
[Content]Home = /home.aspx or /home/
[Content]Home\Projects = /projects.aspx or /projects/
[Content]Footer\Page1 = /page1.aspx or /page1/
[Content]Home\Projects\About = /projects/about.aspx or /projects/about/
http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/webconfig
Secondly there are four 'hidden' redirect fields on every umbraco node (which you can add into the document type) which can change the url routing:
umbracoRedirect (content picker) - Umbraco will redirect to the picked page
umbracoInternalRedirectId (content picker) - Umbraco will load the picked page without changing the url
umbracoUrlName (textstring) - Umbraco will override the page’s default url
umbracoUrlAlias (textstring) - You can have several urls for the same page (not sure when this is useful)
So I guess in your scenario umbracoUrlName will pick out a page in your combined folder but with a url that you choose.
So you have
homepage
|- footer
|-page1 (umbracoUrl = "/footer-page1/")
and /footer-page1/ would render your page stored in the footer folder.
You could also hack things about and make umbracoRedirect & umbracoInternalRedirectId work but I'm not sure that it would help.
I am using N2 CMS (taken templates Dinamico MVC project). I created a new model "TextPage" and respective controller as well. I registered page with "TextPageRegistration" class. And I set parent type for this type as Start Page. But when I run the site, I see this page under Trash instead of under Start Page.
How can I solve it?
Those things only controls what types of pages can be created under what kind of pages (i.e. you can create a page of type "TextPage" as a child to pages of type "Start Page" in the structure.
If something is in the trashcan, it's there because you (or someone else) deleted the page.
Try moving it back, or create a new page?
I have several static files(pages), which are basically copies of my website pages source code, with the content changed.
These files support my website, (keeping the same format) in various ways.
For example the menu part is:-
<body>
<div id="menu">
<ul class="level1" id="root">
etc
etc. until
</ul>
</div>
Unfortunately every month or so my menu bar changes and I have to update each static file manually.
As each of my static files have the same menu.
Is it possible to have one menu file which can be updated and have the static files load them automatically.
I plan to have several more static files. So this would be a great help if someone can suggest how to accomplish this.
Oh yes. Use some javascript magic to load the menu bar upon page load and keep it in menu.html.
One solution may be to use a spider (wget --recursive) to download generated pages directly from your application. One command, and you have the full copy of your site. (just add some useful options, like --convert-links, for example).
The other option may be to write an after_filter in your controller, and write the generated content to a file (not always, but for example when you add a parameter ?refresh_copy=1). Maybe just turning on page caching would be suitable? But the problem will be that you will not be able to trigger the controller action so easily.
If you don't want the whole site copied, just add some specific routes or controllers (/mirrorable/...) and run the spider on them, or just access them manually (to trigger saving the content in the files).
I ended up creating one controller without a model.
rails g controller staticpages
I then created a layout file which imported the individual changes to the layout, via a "yield" tied to a "content_for" in the view files(static files(pages) in the "view of staticpages" (for example abbreviations, aboutthissite etc etc).
The rest of the static file loaded with the usual "yield" in the layout. Works a treat. No more updating the menu bar all done automatically.
To get to the correct static file I created a route using:-
match 'static/:static_page_name'=> 'staticpages#show' (or in rails 2.x:-
map.connect 'static/:static_page_name', :controller=> "staticpages", :action=> "show"
"static_page_name" variable accepted anything after "/static/" in the url and passed it to the controller "staticpages" in which I set up a show action containing:-
def show
#static_page_name = params[:static_page_name]
allowed_pages = %w(abbreviations aboutthissite etc, etc,)
if allowed_pages.include?(#static_page_name)
render #static_page_name
else
redirect_to '/' #redirects to homepage if link does not exists
end
end
I then only had to change the links in the website. (e.g.<%= link_to " About This Site ", '/static/aboutthissite' %>)
and viola! its all working.
